Kayla Haeg [Soldotna High School] #Classof2016<\/figcaption><\/figure>Soldotna High School\u2019s valedictorian Kayla Haeg holds deep pride in her choice to take full advantage of the many opportunities and courses offered at Soldotna High School. She often found that the knowledge she gained in diverse courses extended across multiple academic disciplines and well beyond the classroom. \u201cAfter spending four years in Soldotna High School\u2019s drama department, I\u2019ve learned that having a small part in something doesn\u2019t mean it\u2019s unimportant. In this way, my experiences in drama have prepared me for success in the community. Through drama, I learned that community is truly enhanced through small acts.\u201d Aside from being a standout student and role model to her peers, many of Kayla\u2019s small acts at Soldotna High School and in the larger Soldotna community came through her countless hours spent volunteering\u2014whether with National Honor Society, blood drives, for events at local elementary schools, or the local little league.
\nKayla\u2019s ability to excel in multiple fields of study and her driven goal of taking a wide-breadth of challenging courses ultimately resulted in her long-term aspirations to synthesize academic knowledge in the working world in order to make Alaska an even better place to live. She is proud of her choice to remain in Alaska, where her father taught her how to properly catch a trout, and attend the University of Alaska Fairbanks (UAF) next year, seeking a Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering degree with the long-term goal of a Master of Science in Petroleum Engineering. \u201cWith my advanced degree, I can not only become a rare female engineer, but also a female leader, inspiring similar young women to challenge occupational stereotypes and enter the field of engineering to pursue their passion for math and science.\u201d Kayla aspires to eventually apply her skills in solving the unique engineering problems of Alaska, whether they are on the North Slope or through her own firm here at home. \u201cThis state has taught me that being a part of a community, whether it\u2019s a large town or small village, not only requires participation, but also contribution and dedication.\u201d
